- Wanted to go to a museum today, but the radio beeped with a train derailment in a tunnel at Union Station and I decided that might be more interesting. Let's see what we can see.

I took Northeast Regional 67 to Newport News this morning and we passed 86 (the train that would be derailed) on the way down south. Missed them by roughly 45 minutes. I was actually supposed to take 186 back up to Baltimore but unfortunately the train was canceled due to this incident. Had to dash out $250 for a one way 30-min flight on Southwest from Norfolk to Baltimore. What a absolute crazy day!
Could have probably rented a car for less than that. What an expensive ride.
Some would say everything's falling apart, but 0h no, Everything is coming together just as planned!
"They" truly think we are stupid.
Agreed
Trump deregulation is the direct cause of the spike in train derailments.
It's funny you are blaming Biden for the train derailments that resulted from Trump's mindless deregulation.
Those goddamn Yankees fans. I knew they couldn't be trusted.
Thanks P6! Sooo many train derailments! I'm in SW Ohio and I'm still not drinking the tap water because of the train in East Palestine Ohio. Glad this one didn't have hazardous material on it that could've spilled.
I'd b boiling that bottled water. U should test it. I did. Nasty
@@user-gt3km8jk3z Thank you, I'll try it.
Average three derailments per day in America 🤬
Amtrak is a passenger train..not a hazardous train..
@@kimsmith6469well, that really depends on which route you take 🤣
Loved the Osprey shot.
Wow!😮
Wait! No air conditioning? I'm having a medical incident just thinking about that!
What on earth would cause something like that? 🤔🤔🤔🤔😆😆😆😆 Your faster than the news. Oh wait, we are the news now.
Awesome coverage P6 thank you
Brother.....I found your channel the other day, quite by accident, and I am hooked!
I agree,he’s great! Very knowledgeable about Washington DC and the surrounding areas.
Especially when he shows his lunches.❤
I’ve used Amtrak many times, and stayed at the Capitol Holiday Inn there. Good to know how they take care of problems like this.
I was watching the FOX 5 live stream and lo and behold there you were, I was like, there's Penguin 6, interview him! :)
Thanks p6 very interesting! Geeze trains are having a tuff year!! Seems planned and not coincidental!!😂😂😂 osprey was awesome shot!! Food looked yummy!! Thanks for all you do p6!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
The spike in train derailments is the direct result of Trump deregulation.
I've been to that stations hundreds of times. Glad I wasn't around for that commute home today.
humm.... at 9:11 am
I was wondering why Amtrak said no service below Washington on their website
Thank you Penguinsix
Saw the Osprey from George Washington memorial parkway today.
Thankful for the helpers
Thanks for the video. I'm glad nobody got hurt.
These ospreys are really impressive birds. You simply can't take your eyes off.
Your ears either. They're LOUD!
Yes, very cool. We see them every day here in San Diego.
@@nadogrl jealous! are they alone or in pairs?
@@loosilu - Usually between 2 - 4 at a time. They are pretty cool. And they have an unmistakable sound, like many jet aircraft.
@@nadogrl I used to see them at Joint Base Anacostia/Bolling, two at a time. They are part of the presidential fleet. They are fun to watch.
There’s definitely been a derailment in DC but it has nothing to do with a train!
The spike in train derailments is a direct result of Trump's deregulation of the railroads.
3rd train derailment in 24 hours!!!
... all being planned and engineered on purpose!
@@jjohn4874 you ain't kidding, nothing's by accident anymore!
DISTRACTION😂😅😊
Shit happens. not even a major derailment. Y'all need to research how many happen in a year
s this the same train Biden use to ride and had keys ?
Not just 2 Amtrak coaches but the locomotive left the rails in the tunnel leading to Union Station from the south.
Strictly Northeast Corridor service may not be affected. Anything to or from south of Washington, from Manassas to Miami, likely flung away.
You would think with all the technology today derailments would be a thing in the past. Living in the Mid-West it’s like a never ending saga. I’m glad passengers were ok except for the medical emergency. Hopefully they’ll be ok.
Trump deregulation is the direct cause of train derailments.
Average of three derailments per day in America 🤬
The Lord warned of train derailments …these are planned. We are living in a very late hour of end times. He has poured out His Spirit on many, not wanting any to perish. If you do not know Jesus, seek Him now for salvation is today - 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans 10:9-13. God bless
@@lorimiller5136 I do not remember reading this in scripture. Where is this found?
@@lorimiller5136wow. He knew there’d be trains 1500 years into the future?
Greetings
I am always amazed by the intriguing backstory you provide.
Always delighted by the up close and personal view we receive as one of your devoted devotees!
Thank you for sharing your passion & experience 🎉🎉🎉
Another train ... I wonder who was on it that was to disappear.
D.C. went off the rails years ago
Praise GOD ALMIGHTY, no injuries 🙏
There's a perfect walkway up high just down from the station give you a clear view back toward the ladder truck up to union.its at, L St Ne at the tracks.
Everything's going off the rails these days 😵💫😵💫
Update as of 3:39p Jul 12 (almost a day later): Train 86's affected engine (also derailed) and cars are still in the tunnel, but one track is clear and was able to get trains 20 and 92 through. They did have to go up the CSX line for MARC's Camden line service a bit then back into Union Station to let passengers off/on and swap engines.
Thanks for the report P6. You are on top of things in DC. Kudos!!
I’ve seen so many coincidences lately…..I’ve learned to set my watch by them and it works like a charm. Now all we need is dash of irony and several oxymorons cuffed & booked.
It will happen cuz they are gathering info and beginning impeachment of the man NOT president mr bidann
Huh?
@@robwahl6288well in fairness a broken watch is correct twice a day.
Possible distraction going on
Or maybe something happening somewhere else is a distraction from this.
Movement of high officials of u.n from n.y to their new home offices in THE PEOPLES HOUSE...WHAT A RUSE..NO ACCIDENT ALL PLANNED.SOMETHING BIG IN PROGRESS.WHY HAS NO EXPLANATION EVER BEEN GIVEN FOR WHITEHOUSE SHUTDOWN
A sad distraction lol. Do better than that.
Thank you for the video.
Great filming🎉P6
Wow I’m not surprised
More trains 🚂? 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️no coincidence
So many miles on the DC Amtrak and never a problem!
So many: "Oh! I know that station!" or "I know that bridge."
And then you go and scare the crap out of me with you're 90° video recording of the Osprey whilst going the bridge!
The osprey almost caused multiple car wrecks. Everyone in front of me stopped to look at it. Was a bit scary for a moment. They're really loud.
Locomotive and at least one passenger car derailed in A interlocking south of the lower level platform tracks at Washington Union station.
😅thanks for the video,glad to here they are al wel.😅greetings from the netherlands NL. greetz:🍐Peer.👍👍👍👍
Wow! It's amazing how much you can learn about something, the passenger train system, in such a short time when things go wrong. 1. No A.C. ? Why not? That seems kind of important in a metal box containing soft , squishy chunks of meat--- otherwise known as people. 2. "In case of emergency, do this.....". apparently wasn't a thing anyone was familiar with. They should go over that. 3. Where the HELLo is our illustrious Petey the planes, trains, and automobiles guy? Maternity leave is a one and done dude, get to work. Find out why we are becoming the train derailment capital of the world.
They have a/c when they are running, but not when the train is idling.
@@patevans3709 ok, good to know and is that AC or really good air flow? Hahaha
@@patevans3709 Passenger trains get their a/c and lights from "head end power" from the locomotive. When the engine derailed in the tunnel, some connection was broken so the HEP went out. Or else they shut the loco down for safety reasons.
That's where I get off in union station, hopefully no serious injuries
5:20 that Altima got some nice wheels)))
Thank you for letting us know about no air conditioning in Amtrak trains. With this said, I better avoid Amtrak in the summer months as a way of traveling.
It was only that broken train due to the derailment. They usually have ac
@@Penguinsix Thanks for clearing things up here about Amtrak trains here. Hopefully none got seriously injured in accident here.
Amtrak hit a truck in Lakeland Florida a few days ago
What they do with the infrastructure money they took for roads, bridges and tracks? They never seem to fix anything, same old pot holes I have to dodge every day.
All that money that was “appropriated” is just ripe for many types of corruption via state and local governments and democrat union officials getting payback through the Bribum administration. What those government websites don’t tell you is a lot they don’t want you to know. Just because they have ways and means to spend the money on infrastructure projects doesn’t mean they will go through with them. Shovel ready projects aren’t ALWAYS “shovel ready”, Friend.
Your state was given funds from the infrastructure bill based on what the state requested. The request was for specific categories of infrastructure, and the state determines which specific projects are to be handled, and the order in which they are completed! Railroads are funded by the private sector--the companies that own/run the trains also own/maintain the tracks. In an effort to improve railroad fluidity and improve supply chains, $1 BILLION was included in the Infrastructure Bill for specific areas of improvement and expansion. Such funding has not been provided in the past, but it is necessary. The previous administration was short-sighted
on expanding the railroad system and decreased safety requirements. Prior to this one time Infrastructure Bill, the railroad companies were responsible for all maintenance. The only exception was for repairs at state and federal highway intersections with railroad tracks--those costs are shared with the railroad companies to ensure safety standards are maintained.
Thank you . I think our friends are home from tour of DC.
Hi everyone
Lack of maintenance strikes again.
Hi , Glad to see the Post’s , Thank You Andrew ,,, I was wondering 💭 can you Actually Do a inside Show in The Red Cross ,? It was nice when you had a show on the outside,,
That was actually my train that day, I had to get on the MARC to Baltimore
Thanks P6❤
Right on schedule. It went off without a hitch. 😉👍
Famous last words….
Rest and rehydrate…
That train isn't the only thing that has derailed in DC!
Wow..those trains are large close up
Thank you.
I was eating lunch in a restaurant in Washington DC when that happened
If my train 🚆 falls off the track pick it up pick it up pick it up........
D.C. used to be such a wonderful city which has been overrun with swamp creatures……..such a shame.
As it's still a great city, you should keep far away. What a great place to live.
@@flynavy9112 no worry,I’m sure you enjoy your evening walks in S.E.
@@chipsrafferty8362 As long as it's the Navy Yard and Nationals Park, sure. The rest of S.E. DC has always been a mess. But, I really take my walks in Georgetown...very nice
Someone PROMISED to fix the AMTRAK shortcomings,...maybe they FORGOT
How bad was the delay at Union Station? Did they shut the station down? Should've went inside the station and document.
It's been a mess all day for trains heading south from DC. Many cancelled.
That BBQ sure looked yummy.
Fitting……
STILL LOVE AMTRAK!!❤❤❤
Glad to hear all are ok, except 1,, minor issues?
Any word on the cause? You would think at slow speeds around the station, it would be unusual. Bad track, debris, switch in bad position?
Deregulation. That's the reason for the uptick in rail accidents.
This is a good example of how screwed up rail service is in this country!
This is a direct result of Trump's deregulatoin of railroads.
please be careful with the next video....somebody's son might be watching.......
Sorry I missed your live. I lost service during a storm.
Hopefully not chemical derailment.
Amtrak is passenger service, not freight haulers.
Hazmats arent allowed in DC as far as I know
TY P6 ❤
I have always had a interest in your railroads in the states with the history and the many different railroad company's but these derailments that seem to happen every week isn't normal, most of the time it comes down to the track infrastructure but instead of getting the track standards to what it's like here in the UK/Europe it's just put back to what it was because that's the way it's been done for years
There are over 1,500 per year in the US....around 5 per day. This isn't rare. Look at the number to trains (and the insane number of cars) running on US tracks everyday. The derailments are not surprising.
I'm sure Mayor Pete will take care of this .
DS sure is busy🤦🏼♀️
Hurry up and wait. But paid off with an Osprey heavily hovering hankering down the river
I was on the train yesterday if anyone need any info on what really happened please feel free to contact me I’ll even do a interview. It was a shit show I swear
Is this the same train Biden use to ride and had keys ?
I Love Trains trains built the United States of America
Thank you P6. 🥰
Biden’s America
Ooooh you got that right, Friend 😊
Hahahahaha 😂😊
I commented at the beginning of the Ukraine proxy war on how money could be spent in better places. Give me some more! 😂
Devo7146- F y I- regarding ukraine , If russia went into a nato country , instead of u.s. giving arms to ukraine , we would have american soldiers on the ground. And the cost of doing that, would be much higher.
Clearly Biden will have to give billions of dollars to his beloved rail system. 😂
Good grief, that dispatcher was very hard to understand.
🗡️ 6:57 Good🔏
Derailments happening everywhere many filled with food , do we really think it’s accidental? We need Trump back like yesterday!
Wha??
@@PaulMackSomers yes two in Ohio, one happened in MN , look up derailments it’s vast
The Drumpf administration is responsible for many of these derailments because they lifted speed restrictions, EPA standards, and many other rules. He was a yes-man only seeking approval and gratification from donors and companies--NOT examining long-term outcomes. Railroad companies own the tracks and
the trains--they are private companies. Biden is making an effort to improve the railroads through reimplementing safety standards and expanding some tracks. These will also improve the fluidity of product and service chains. The funding through the Infrastructure Bill is a one time funding opportunity.
@@patevans3709 😂
@@patevans3709oooh you got that right, friend 😊

First.
WAS BIDEN ON BOARD? OH PLEASE OH PLEASE
1. presidents havent really used trains like that in decades.
2. shut up, you sound like a kid
Why so many derailments?? This happen a lot when I lived out there.
Public transportation is awful in this country. WE ARE NOT READY TO TRANSITION AWAY FROM FOSSIL FUELS.
You got that right 👍, Friend.
Nor will we ever be…
Railroad tracks and trains are owned by the private sector--they do not receive federal funding. If we improved their structure and systems, it would greatly reduce the # of trucks on our highways, improve our supply chains, and decrease pollution. We are FAR BEHIND countries in Europe and Asia who have improved/maintained rail systems and transportation. We are focused on individual needs instead of what benefits us collectively--and long-term!
@@patevans3709 Amtrak: corporation that was chartered by the U.S. government in 1970. The federal government owns the majority of the stock (source), but despite this, Amtrak is classified as an independent agency. Amtrak has a Board of Directors that is appointed by the President of the United States, as well as a CEO and President. Additionally, Amtrak gets funding from multiple states and the federal government.
@@noeladcock You sound to me like those who argued that the horse was king when it came to land transportation against locomotives and later automobiles.
Earth is definitely going through changes. Ground is moving all over the planet. Why does the news not talk about the sun and the activity going on with sun spots and solar flares? That's what's playing with our weather not our gas burning automobiles!
It's geoengineering, including HAARP.
Ground movement isn't new. As to solar activity it doesn't influence our weather as much as things that humans do, gas burning automobiles have a much stronger impact on it by releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The more carbon dioxide the stronger the greenhouse effect is, and that means more trapped heat. Think of a greenhouse where half the window panes are covered. It is going to have some average temperature, and as I uncover the covered windows panes this average temperature is going to increase because I am trapping more heat energy in the greenhouse.
@@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888…Wrong!!! There will ALWAYS be Hot and Cold. The Book of Genesis tells us this. The Global elites are creating ways to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. Destroying world economies and building dependency on big government bureaucracies following Marxist ideology is the goal. Trappy you can ride on your bicycle. I and many others will continue to ride around in our SUV’s…just like the DAVO class going to the WEF meetings in their private gas guzzler jets and 3 ton Black SUVs. Rules for thee…but, not for ME… Right Trappy!!!?
